1. As a good review article we may add Kogut-Wilson’s orignal
article–

K. G. Wilson and J. Kogut,Physics Reports 12C, 76 (1974).

2. Field Theory; The Renormalization Group and Critical Phenomena
by Daniel J. Amit, Victor Martin-mayor (disclaimer: I haven’t seen this new third addition.
Used 1984 edition which I certainly liked. This one doesn’t look very different and I hope
is atleast as good as the previous ones)

1. Condensed Matter Field Theory by Alexander Altland and Ben Simons (comment: seems to me
a truly wonderful book with extensive collection of ‘real life’ applications. Could also be seen as general intro. to a lot of topics. Do take a look.)

Hi everyone,
This is my first time studying Condensed Matter Physics, and I have found the book by Chaikin and Lubensky, which has also been listed as the first book to study the subject in the list given here.
But in the introduction, the book says that it will only consider the classical analysis of condensed matter. Will this book be sufficient for me as an introduction, because I want to study the basics of condensed matter physics, but also want to know its application in Bose-Einstein Condensates and also the quantum effects of condensed matter, like superconductivity, superfluidity etc. in more detail. Should I continue with this book, or should I get some other book to study?
